29 September 2008 from 1812-1827
Location: The lawn outside of the front of Belknap; the north side of the Mill Stream between Rogers and the library
Weather: 80 ̊ F, no wind, cloudy and rainy to the west, partly cloudy to the east
General: On the way over to the Mill Stream, I saw four squirrels. Two were wrestling on the ground, although it looked playful. Another one was in a strange position—it was vertical on a tree, facing downwards. It was holding on only with its back feet, while it used its front hands for chewing something. I found a web with a cool spider along the Mill Stream. The spider was about a quarter of an inch long. Its legs alternated with brown and yellow horizontal stripes, with small hairs. Its abdomen had horizontal light brown and dark brown stripes, with a wavy, vertical, yellow stripe along each side. When I tried to take a picture of it up close, it scurried away from its perch in the middle of its web, and up one of its support lines, but then it froze, so I was able to get a closer view. As I was leaving, I started to feel sprinkles of rain. There was a rainbow in a raincloud to the east.
